THE ROUTINE REPORT
CHICAGO, Sept. 13.-The unloading OF local
operators yesterday was followed by slight
reaction on change to-day. There were no
new features presented in the wheat market
The speculative offerings were not large. and
there was some covering of shorts at the
decline. which caused Il slight reaction from
inside figures reached. October opened at
69SSc. advanced to 6G54c. reacted to 60i4c
ana closed at 69l2Gf695sc. Corn started in
to-day moderately active, but later became
more quiet and closed firm. No inside news
of importance was received. the market
being governed by local influences. The
enormous shipments of corn and the crop
reports were on the side of the bulls and
the bears were forced to back their arg,l-
ments by their offerings. October opened at
42e. declined to II sc: then reacted owing to
liberal purchases of Il local operator and the
covering of shorts to 425s6 t2Iac at
which figure it closed. Nav sold
mt 45l4@ 455sc and closed at 45ssG45Lac
